I do not no what you mean exactly, but yum installs all packages.
To understand package names, try :
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-software-management-concepts.html#sn-package-names
Then you can use the rpm command.
Try in console:
man rpm
Ex.
rpm -qi packagename # To get info about an installed package.
rpm -qa # To see all installed packages on the computer (long list)
rpm -ql packagename # To see where the packagefiles are installed
